runDisney lovers training e-team rosters on FB

You never run alone with runDisney! There are characters around every corner!

Are you running a runDisney race between now and #PrincessHalf '14? If you let me know which one/s I can add you to the runDisney lovers training e-team roster/s for those weekends. If you are not planning to runDisney during that window I can add you to the Dreaming of runDisney team. 

I post a daily training mileage update with the totals for each race weekend. You can comment with your training miles there and they will be added into the totals for your race e-team/s. Your miles will count toward the totals for each race weekend you are running. 

It does not matter which distance your are doing for a particular race weekend. Everyone's training miles count! You can post your miles daily or weekly it is up to you. Either way is fine! Welcome to the runDisney lovers training e-team!

Come on over to my FB athlete page at "for the love of Disney running" and join us as we train for runDisney fun one run at a time!

Just leave your name and which races you are running on the pinned FB post and I will add you to the roster in the morning.

We are racking up the runDisney training e-team miles over on my athlete Facebook page "For the love of Disney running".  I know most of you already have checked it out but we are close to 550 runners and I posted this welcome message for everyone who has joined this fall.  I thought I would share it here for those of you who would like to log miles with us and participate in our friendly competition between the runDisney race weekends!

"I can't believe how many people we are up to here on our @runDisney training e-team!

For all those of you who have joined recently we are a group of recreational athletes (yes I said athletes) who are training to run Disney sometime soon or just dreaming of being able to sometime in the future.

We are tracking our miles according to the race weekend we are registered for or under the Dreaming of runDisney if not already registered.  We have a friendly competition going on between the race weekends!  It does not matter which distance you are running.  5k, 10 miler, half and full marathon runners welcome!  You can either comment daily or weekly with your miles.  Your miles will be added in with your fellow race weekend e-teammates.  I am not tracking individual efforts (that would be an insane amount of work and most of us do that ourselves).

I love adding up the miles, especially when I have miles of my own to add to the total.  We are 3 race weekends in since we started Memorial Day weekend 2012.

If you are running Disney in 2013 or just Dreaming of it join in the fun and log with us.  Our Marathon weekend runners have the most miles so far, but our Princess runners are really amazing me!

Please let me know which races you are running and I will add your training miles to each runDisney weekend.  Run on and make sure you add some fun to your run!"

I needed a little motivation...

...and my team was there for me!  Sometimes you just need a little help to get the job done.  

Yesterday I was not so sure about going out for my run, but I was due for an outing!  

So I asked for a little motivation and my Facebook pals 

(at for the love of Disney running)came through for me.  

They pulled out all kinds of motivation ideas.  

In the end I picked out one of my runDisney Princess shirts and my RunningSkirt and headed out the door.  Once I was outside I realized just how beautiful it was.  I was so glad I went out!  

It was one of those perfect summer twilight runs.  

Use whatever motivation you can and get it done!
